General Fremont rsst.ffss,

NEW YORK, Sept. % General j. c.
Fremont was prominent figure at to.
days meeting of the Pacific Railroad
commission. He was subpe1aed to tes-
tity with reference to some Of General
Stones statements to the commission
when it wss in Omaha. The examination
CT General bod wss resumed as TO the
cost Of constructing the Union Pacific
RoSd. The witness said the road could
not have cost one-thlrd of what it did had
not the government desired the work
rushed. General Grant telegrephed the
company that the government would do
anything to facilitate the expedition OF
the work. The General thought the road
could have paid its debt to the govern
ment he'd not Congress kept interfering
with it's business.
General ]. G. Fremont then took the
stand. He said he with General Ewing
and others paid $203. 900 for the Leaven-
worth, Pawnee and Western Railway in
1856. 1t had then titles to certain
Indian lands and some preliminary
surveys. There was hardly any
construction In 1864 the General be-
came estran ged from one of his COLES CUES
and retired, receiving about what he mad
paid. He never had any shendsin buying
votes, and knew nothing of any such i'm
proper use of money"
"You were not in the business OF buy
ing votes at that timer" put in one Of the
Commissioners.
"No, about the time of these alleged
transactions l was actively engaged in
the field" replied the General with g
smile. He then retired sud st his own
request General Thomas Ewing took the
stand and made long statement respect
ing his connection with the Leavenworth,
Pawnee and Western Railway Company,
which il 1862 became branch OF the
Union Pacific.

But Human Flesh.
The English mind, Zebehr said,

God. no prophet and no law. One man
worshiped a tree, another his chickens,
some fire, some water, some the buff
falo, some the serpent. They had no
occupation but hunting and fighting
one with another, and they were cam
nibals. Cannibalism prevailed among
them to such an extent that when he
first went down they ate none but hui
man flesh. Men, women and children
were killed in the market, cut up and
sold, rs Europeans sell beef and NUT
ton. All prisoners of war were eaten,
and ill-behaved persons; also men who
grew too fat to be good for any thing
else, and persons who died natural
death. A young Nyam-Nyam, who
was in attendance upon the Pasha, eX-
planned. apropos of this. that it is not
the custom to eat your own relations.
If your NEITHER for instance, is sup
posed to be dying, you negotiate with
some one of a neighboring village to

To Give the Cue.

ITO give the cue" is a common
phrase. According to most dIction-
aries, ''cuc" lin its theatrical sense) is
derived from the Latin "cauda,"
though the French "queue," and the
same authorities say that it means the
last words of Il speech which the actor
who has to reply, catches and regards
as notice to begin. This theory is
perhaps. supported by the fact that, in
French theatrical phrases. what we
call the ''cue" is styled the ''repl;que.
But MIR. Wed@ewood maintains tina:
the above etymology is quite errone-
Gus. He says that "cue" is derived
from O. the first letter of the Latin
"quando." which used 10 be marked
